I think we have some evidence of the likely quality of textbooks produced by creationists:
The Texas Freedom Network comissioned a report on the National Council On Bible Curriculum in Public Schools
The
Executive Summary contains damning comments:
The curriculum uses a discredited urban legend that NASA has evidence that two days are missing in time, thus confirming a biblical passage about the sun standing still [pages 116-17].
The answer key to a quiz [page 87] identifies a pharaoh as Hyksos. Hyksos was the name of an Asiatic-Semitic people who once ruled Egypt
The curriculum is shockingly lax when it comes to properly crediting sources — inexcusable in any scholarly writing at either the high school or college level. For example, the wording of the sections titled Pilate and Herod, which constitute pages 195-196 in their entirety, is identical to that of passages from the articles Pilate, Pontius, and Herod the Great in Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia 2001. No source is cited.
